King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi has just launched a KMUTT Walk and Bike Society project, in line with its policy to become a truly green and clean campus.
KMUTT president Dr Sakarindr Bhumiratana said recently the project would promote walking and the use bicycles within the university grounds.
“Such choices of lifestyle are good for the environment and for the health of people who have embraced it,” Suchada Chaisawadi said yesterday in her capacity as the KMUTT energy environment safety and health manager.
Sakarindr said KMUTT’s campus was not too big for staff or students to walk or bicycle around.
She said KMUTT had announced its policy to become a green campus in 2003 and has stuck to it.
Sakarindr said in 2012, his institute was ranked the 17th top green campus in the world.
A master plan had been laid down to develop infrastructure for the goal of becoming a truly clean and green campus too. To date, the KMUTT Bike Club has more than 800 members.
“Walking and bicycling will help reduce global-warming problems,” Suchada added.
